The Farmington Valley Chorale will hold a fundraiser with Flatbread Company of Canton on Tuesday, October 4, 2016, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event will feature a Silent Auction of goods and services donated by local artists and businesses. The Chorale will use the proceeds from the auction and from the sale of Flatbread Company pizzas to offset the expenses for their upcoming production of Felix Mendelssohn's oratorio, Elijah in April, 2017.

"Elijah is a major undertaking for us," said Chorale's Vice President, Deborah Carey, "and it will be an expensive one! We need to start now to raise the funds to hire more than 40 orchestral musicians and a concert venue large enough to accommodate 100 singers and the large audience we're planning for." Carey added, "We're so pleased that the Flatbread Company has included us in their community support program!"

Flatbread Company is located in the Shoppes at Farmington Valley on Route 44 in Canton, CT. For more information about this event, visit www.farmingtonvalleychorale.org.

Since 1970 the Farmington Valley Chorale has been bringing quality classical choral music to the communities of the Farmington Valley.
